Good afternoon Blue Team members. I see that a few of you gained a little this past week. Don't beat yourselves up over that.
Some of you were sick and that's stressful enough without trying to lose weight at the same time. Life has to be taken care of sometimes. And when you're sick with a fever, headache and aching muscles no one will fault you for not losing that pound or two. So don't fault yourself.
And some of you have done everything right and still gained. Well, give yourself a pat on the back and keep up the good work. Next week you'll see a difference.
And some of you just didn't care and ate whatever you wanted and didn't exercise. Well, sometimes that happens and this week you'll do better because it's not the team you're letting down--it's yourself. So do yourself a favor and stay on plan this week.
We've all been in each situation so if it's the first time for you, you're in good company!
That's my sermon for the day.
Echo, Isabella was my grandmother's name and it was her grandmother's name. Now, all I have to do is convince one of my sons to name a granddaughter after me when they have a daughter.
Oh, enjoy your book.
SkinnyJeans, that's great news about your DH. Now, you have a choice about the extra work.
Dixied, you look great in your avatar. No wonder with all that running.
Nella, our DS bought an old house nearly 100 years old. When we first saw the house it was run-down and really dirty with cobwebs hanging off everything. I felt like Lily Munster walking around that house. (If you guys don't know who the Munsters were, you're way younger than I. Hahaha) DH and I helped them with their renovations and they eventually sold the house and made a handsome profit and bought a house that was only 15 years old (that still needs renovations). So I know what you were talking about. I'm sure your house wasn't as run-down as DS's first one but it takes heap of renovations to make a house a home. Great compliment from your aunt, btw. You must have been tickled pink.
I had a good walk this morning. Cold and a few snow flurries starting to fall but I kept up a good pace and wasn't chilly at all. I'm going to try to do more flapping arm exercises (jumping jacks) today. My right arm is still a bit sore so I'll skip the counter push ups until tomorrow. I guess I'll alternate the days with resistance and aerobic but walk every day. Now to check out the challenge.
Catch you all later my sweet team members.
